Beware what lurks in the darkness of Cege Smith’s paranormal Shadows series…

Darkness has been Ellie Coulter’s constant companion since her parents’ untimely death when she was eight, and she harbors a secret that never fails to remind her that she’s different than everyone else. Fresh off a failed marriage with a man who harbored his own dark secrets, Ellie shut herself off from the world as a form of self-preservation.

For months, Ellie’s protective bubble includes nothing but her coffee shop, her few friends, and her dog. The attention of a handsome young doctor, David Mitchell, pushes her out of her comfort zone, and Ellie warms to the idea that she may have found a risk worth taking.

Then one of Ellie’s friends abruptly leaves town; entrusting her home to Ellie’s care. The house has its own mysterious past that draws Ellie into a tangled web of deceit. Her ex-husband resurfaces with premonitions of Ellie’s death. And suddenly Ellie’s life is being turned upside down yet again.

Something old and evil has found Ellie, and wants to keep her all to itself.

In this thrilling continuation of Cege Smith’s paranormal Shadows series, Ellie Coulter made a deal with the devil, and now it’s time to pay the price.

It doesn’t take long for Ellie to realize that the shadows that have swirled around her life since her parents’ death were far from a coincidence. As more of her true destiny is revealed, it comes with the knowledge that she is a lynchpin in a much larger and more dangerous game. And the being who trapped her in her new “home” has no intention of ever letting her go.

As Ellie races to find a way to escape, she is sucked further into the darkness and must come face to face with ugly truths about who she really is.

But one thing remains clear: Ellie must find a way to defeat her captor before she loses everything, including herself.

In the stunning conclusion of the Shadows trilogy, Ellie and David risk everything to uncover the truth about their pasts…
